  Welcome to North Florida Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, An official Relson Gracie Academy

  located in Jacksonville Florida.

  North Florida Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was established to provide the most effective Gracie

  Jiu-Jitsu instruction in Florida.

  We focus on self-defense, fitness, character development and personal achievement,

  founded upon education. We maintain the highest standards of excellence in order

  to develop each and every one of our students into the best martial artist they can

 About Gracie Jiu-Jitsu

  Gracie Jiu-Jitsu has been specifically designed so the practitioners can defeat

  physically bigger, stronger and more powerful opponents by using leverage and

  technique rather  then brute power and strength. (i.e. submissions, choke holds, and

  joint locks)

  This revolutionary military tested martial art will teach you the most effective self-

  defense techniques in real life threatening situations - including sexual assaults and

  rape. You will learn defenses against most commonly used attacks with and without

  weapons, including how to avoid being taken down and how handle an aggressor

  while on the ground by learning the ability to exploiting the most vulnerable parts of

  an attacker and training your mind to gain strategic advantage during an encounter.

  Gracie Jiu-Jitsu will radically improves all aspects of a person’s life: it transforms

  the body, sharpens the mind and builds a non-quitting spirit. Men, women, and

  children can benefit from this wonderful martial art: whether their goal be a no

  nonsense approach to learning practical self-defense, or increasing strength, 

  power, speed, muscular endurance, stamina, cardiovascular conditioning,

  flexibility, weight control and self discipline.

  The challenges you face while training in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is that all the challenges

  you face in training will help relieve stress and achieve a high level of confidence,

  self-esteem, and discipline. Not only does training increase your coordination, 

  but  knowing you have such control over your body (and any physical situations 

  that  may arise) also improves your emotional control. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu helps

  you  learn   that you can solve any situation you face. In learning self defense and  

  Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, you realize that you are capable of escaping from extremely 

  adverse  situations. And that experience translates into everyday life.

 Why you should start learning Gracie Jiu-Jitsu

 Ground Fighting

  Fact: 95% of all self defense situations end up on the ground.  Ask yourself, would

  you know how to defend yourself if someone attacked you and threw you on the

  ground?  Would you have complete confidence that you would be equipped with 

  the  technical knowledge of self-defense?  With Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, gain confidence

  and   learn "the secrets" to ground fighting.

 Sport Grappling

  In addition to self-defense, grappling is an excellent way to stay in shape.  It's

  exciting and anyone can do it, no matter your size, strength, or gender.
